Thousands of women across Pakistan woke up in June 2025 to a serious issue: their 8171 BISP payments had suddenly stopped. No prior notice. No clear explanation. Just silence. If you or someone you know relies on these funds, this article breaks down the problem and explains how to solve it step by step — no fluff, just facts.
What Is the PMT Score and Why Is It Important?
The PMT Score (Poverty Measurement Tool) is the backbone of the BISP eligibility system. It’s calculated through a national database based on:
-
Family income
-
Household size
-
Property ownership
-
Employment status
-
Utility usage
If your PMT score is 32 or below, you remain eligible for financial support. But if it rises above 32, your payments may get blocked.

BISP updates these scores during regular dynamic surveys. If they detect improvements in your financial condition — even if temporary — your score might increase, affecting your status.
Common Signs Your BISP Payments Have Been Blocked
If your 8171 BISP account is showing issues, here are the signs to look for:
-
Your 8171 status on the portal reads “Blocked”
-
Your payment balance is always Rs. 0
-
No cash received since the end of 2024
-
The last transaction is several months old
If these apply to you, your PMT score likely went above the eligibility threshold.
Why Your PMT Score Might Have Increased
Understanding the causes behind a higher PMT score is key to reversing the damage. Here are a few possibilities:
-
Increase in declared or reported household income
-
Purchase or registration of land, house, or vehicle
-
Recent international travel or visa history
-
Higher utility bills, which suggest an improved lifestyle
-
Family size reduced (fewer dependents or children growing up)
If BISP records show any of the above, your household might appear financially stronger than it really is.

How to Check Your BISP Status in 2025
You don’t need to wait in line or call anyone — your 8171 BISP eligibility status can be verified in two simple ways:
1. SMS Method:

You’ll get an instant message with your payment and eligibility status
2. Online Method:
-
Visit the official 8171 web portal
-
Enter your CNIC and fill in the captcha
-

If it says “Blocked,” your updated PMT score has crossed the eligibility line.
What To Do If Your BISP Card or Account Is Blocked
Let’s be clear: you cannot unblock your BISP account online.
The only way to fix this is to visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office and apply for PMT re-verification. This is especially important if your financial condition has worsened since the last BISP survey.
Step-by-Step Re-verification Process:
-
Go to your local BISP Tehsil office
-
Request a re-survey or data update based on financial hardship
-
Submit all the required documents
-
Wait for the new assessment — this may take a few weeks

Required Documents for Re-verification
To avoid rejection or delays, take the following documents with you:
-
Original CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card)
-
Any old BISP messages or payment slips
-
Latest utility bills (electricity, gas)
-
Documents showing income loss or unemployment
-
Details about children’s education or school enrollment
These documents are used to recalculate your PMT score and determine if you still qualify.
Important Dos and Don’ts for BISP Beneficiaries
Let’s talk safety and common sense. Many people get scammed while trying to fix their BISP issues.
Do:
-
Always visit the BISP office in person
-
Carry your documents and ask for a formal re-survey
-
Keep checking your status online after applying
Don’t:
-
Never pay agents or middlemen — BISP services are 100% free
-
Don’t respond to unofficial messages or calls
-
Avoid sharing your CNIC or biometric data with anyone
Stay cautious and stick to official BISP communication channels.
If You’re Still Blocked, Here’s What You Can Do Next
After reapplying, keep monitoring your CNIC through the 8171 portal. If you don’t see updates after 30 days, visit the BISP office again with a copy of your application slip or previous request.
If your household genuinely qualifies, the BISP will eventually restore your benefits. But it may take time, especially during busy months or after a national update.
Final Thoughts
The June 2025 BISP payment issue has left thousands frustrated, but this is not the end. If your PMT score unfairly disqualified you, you can still fix it by following the official re-verification steps.
BISP is meant to support the most vulnerable families in Pakistan, and if your household is still struggling, you deserve to be part of the program.
Take action today — don’t wait for a miracle. Visit your nearest BISP Tehsil Office and fight for your right with documents, facts, and patience.
